EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On board the Desaix" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases soldiers of the French 17th Infantry Regiment, who were being redeployed to Tunisia after refusing to carry out orders to suppress a revolt by winemakers in Beziers. It was captured and immortalized by Carrey, a renowned artist from the early 20th century. The scene depicts a powerful display of solidarity among these brave men as they embark on their voyage across the Mediterranean Sea. Despite facing potential punishment for their mutiny, they stand united against injustice and oppression. This rebellion symbolizes not only an industrial dispute but also represents support for an entire industry - wine production. The image evokes emotions of admiration for these soldiers who dared to challenge authority in pursuit of justice. Their act of defiance resonates with themes of resistance, politics, and the struggle for workers' rights during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment firsthand. It serves as a reminder that even within military structures, individuals can find strength through unity and fight against unfairness. This print is truly an invaluable piece that captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance – reminding us all about the power of standing up for what is right.
